Cloud adoption has become mainstream, with a growing number of organizations moving to largescale deployments and embracing a cloud-first strategy.

Unfortunately, the skills and expertise required for cloud security has not been able to match this rapid rate of adoption and have left many organizations ill-equipped to manage the transition.

Consider these forecasts:

• Gartner forecasts a 22.1% CAGR for Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) revenue between 2019 and 2022
• Cybersecurity Ventures expects unfilled cybersecurity positions to rise to 3.5 million by 2021
• Through 2024, Gartner predicts that 99% of cloud data breaches will be the customer’s fault
• Through 2024, Gartner believes that organizations implementing CSPM and extending it into development will reduce cloud-related security incidents due to misconfiguration by 80%

With the exponential growth of cloud infrastructure and data, compounded by the massive skills gap, misconfigured cloud infrastructure has become a major security concern today.

To mitigate the grave consequences of mismanaged controls in the cloud, here’s your ultimate guide to Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM).
